@@krane15 not true.... Society is a different place than what it was 5 to 10 years ago.... Doctors are going to be forced to treat patients with these type of issues because steroid use has dramatically increased and is widely accepted these days
@@KaySwiss21 No its not. And when they get to your "forced to treat" status let me know, because that's not today. Just so you know, I've already been to see 4 doctors (two urologist) and none would treat the symptoms. They went totally by the numbers. The problem with this simplistic philosophy is the body doesn't know its not suppose to experience any symptom when it has a T levels are about the specified arbitrary cut off point. That tells me one thing for sure, there needs to be a lot more research done on this condition.
In my experience prostate issues come from severe inflammation. When PSA is high, I shut off the coffee, energy drinks, preworkout, sugar, and go heavy on green, beta sitosterol etc. and address testosterone. My OSA also calms down but it takes time.

I've been on TRT for about 8 months now and I can say at least for me it's changed my life. So many physical and emotional issues that this has changed. It has really helped. Plus changing my whole lifestyle, diet and exercise. I was 285, now I'm 235. I feel amazing.
Totally agree. Steroids helped me recover faster and maintain muscle mass, especially during intense training or after injury. It's amazing how they can support bone health as well, which is crucial for people with conditions like osteoporosis.

Great information Doc, I'm in late 40's and last year i took 4 different types of DHT orals , Winstrol / Proviron / Anadrol / Anavar at high doses and it totally enlarged my prostate after 10 days and i was peeing 4/5 times a night, i realized my mistake and stopped taking them all and things started to improve after about 3/4 weeks
Hi Anthony, I was an athlete for 20yrs and now I just train I'm no longer in competition BUT I started TRT a year ago at 250mg per week and my body has changed aswell as general well being and energy etc. Lots of fake info getting about regarding doses as what works for one person won't be ideal for the next person. They've got to start tracking clearance times for ppl on trt etc.
Great info as always. I wish you'd script your videos as you have a tendency to ramble which makes it a little hard to follow at times. I love the subdued tone of this video! 👌
I've personally found 200mg of primo with only 75mg of test a week works better as a cruising stack or alternative hormone replacement than pure TRT at 150, 200 or even 250mg test. I also really liked complimenting it with Hdrol when it existed at 50mg a day, which was the prohormone version of Tbol, it felt so complete and I had amazing blood markers with and with out hdrol, but the hdrol was the iceing on the cake.
@quantumfx2677 you'll love it, no oily skin, no thinning hair, equel recovery in the gym as 250mg of test but you'll have a little bit harder of a look, blood markers are equally as good as on TRT, sex drive is about the same a 200mg test but the Hdrol will put it right up there on what 250mg would give you and can provide a little better pump in the gym (keep in mind it has to be hdrol for the added libido boost and not to tbol, don't ask why tbol is not as good at that but it's not, maybe hdrol is a little more androgenic than tbol before conversion or maybe it's just more activating in the brain). If you just want the same extra added little pump and recovery enhancement tbol at 10mg is the same as 50 hdrol. It's hard to find real hdrol now though, it was stupidly banned in most countries despite being a very mild safe compound based on an already very mild safe compound.
Dude, id love to shake your hand and share a beer with you. This videos on par. Very informative and nothing but raw passion. I both respect and trust you
It be nice to have a doc like u in my area when I first started trt was great now not so much idk if increased dosage will help or not they always tell me for man my ager your level are just right
Hey doc, nice video, i have a question... if i go on test for a year and i get some good gains, if i stop completly taking t, do i lose all the gains i got? I mean, i go back to my natty form?
Doc I’ve heard you say you don’t agree with gonadorelin hcl why?,my TRT clinic used to give me HCG but not anymore,now it’s Test cyp with anastrozole and gonadorelin,I don’t know where I can get HCG,help.
It's pretty easy to monitor your heart rate and O2 level these days. Tons of little devices that do it. Get yourself a little "O2 Ring" that you can wear at night. Learn to see the trends. There are obvious differences between a good nights sleep and a bad one. I fought my way off CPAP by getting my nose and teeth fixed. A little TST ain't going to bother me! :)
I’d love to know if anyone these days has tried Fadogia Agrestis to reduce testicular atrophy. Back in the bro forum days, some blokes used to swear by it. Fadogia is believed to have a direct impact on the testicals, like LH or HCG. If I ever hop back on testosterone, I’ll give it a spin
She's the pain with testicular atrophy go away after a while? How common is gyno with a normal/low TRT dose? I was only on trt for 3 weeks so i don't know the full story yet I plan to try again when i can afford it
I just got my testosterone test back and it was just through a general practitioner. Total is 272 and free is 72.6. Im 5' 11", 175 pounds and around 18 percent body fat. Im new to this. That with me taking TongkatAli. Im pretty sure that is low. What are my options? What should i ask my doctor?
@3:41 I think your screen shot is wrong. HCG is commonly dosed as IUs, not micrograms. One milligram of HCG is estimated to be about 9.3 IUs per MG. Even when converted microgram dosing, it would be way too low.
I have used Testosterone over the past 10 years. In the last 2 years I have not used any. Feeling flat and low did bloods and was diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism. The problem is when I started with test enanthate 250mg once a month I experienced severe bloating and a very uncomfortable gut. As soon as I'm done eating I would get very uncomfortable and need ed to use the loo. Moved over to test cypionate, 50mg once a week. Same result. It's almost as though I can't tolerate it internally. I have chatted to my endocrinologist and few other well versed people however nobody seems to understand why or how this happens. Any feedback would be highly appreciated.....🙏
@IELTSWritingPrep trt or higher doses. At first it improved my sex drive but then it went down. I believe it was estrogen related, i could never get my estrogen at the right level, ais would instantly drop it to zero so i had to figure a dosing schedual but still had a lower sex drive, but at least i could get it up after not being able to. I then introduced hcg and have been able to go multiple times a day ever since with no ed issues and a very high sex drive.
@@spunkflunk Amazing! I do 5000 IUs HCG mono and my E2 reaches 60. I can't imagine what it'd be like with Test too. For whatever reason, I function best when my E2 is very low, around 11, which is considered bad for libido and psychological function. I think a lot of this differs from person to person.
Thoughts. My test was at 349 at 39 years old. Doctor me on 160mg a week. Good amount or would you recommend more. I lift weights 6 days a week and mma in afternoons. Thoughts or advice
R there any dangers being on TRT age 60..I'm in good health..if my testicle shut down is there a danger of them never working again...what is a low level of testosterone..thanku sorry if I'm asking too much
I’ve been on testosterone since September can I just quite it? I’m not sure if I can take this the rest of my life. The doctor said I should take it cause my testosterone it is very low and I’m in risk of heart attack! I don’t know what’s your opinion?
I wish i could afford to see you dr in some ways i cant afford not too. Always great content lets me know what im in for just started first cycle 200mg testosterone cypionate and 300mg Decca a week deca did wonders for my shoulder.
After a year on T and HCG the HCG might not be working anymore. Will it still prevent atrophy and is it only fertility or is atrophy a fact sooner or later?! 😢
I cycle on and off HCG. usually around 3 months on, 1 month off. I've been doing this for 3 years while on trt and it seems to still work well. By the end of the month off, there is noticeable shrinkage on my testies, but once I go back on they increase in size very quickly and there is a very noticeable increase in ejaculate volume again.
I have used 120mg test a week for trt and my levels have always been in the upper normal range. In January I decided to try a carnivor diet and after 30 days on this diet my estrogen was 2x higher and my test was 4x higher than usual. Does anyone have a similar experience? I'm trying to understand if it is possible that being in ketosis can make levels go up? Or maybe this bottle of test is massively overdosed.
Change your weekly routine to administration on Monday morning and Thursday evening. Don’t forget to take half of the normal amount on each day. Hard to say if you will notice or what you will notice. I think the standard timeframe for your body to adapt and effectively maintain the steady stream is 4-5 weeks. I changed my days form M, T to M,W,F Each shot is less so I noticed the spikes have gone away. That’s the goal, nice and steady levels.
What about putting 20 years old man on trt? My natural lh and fsh levels are near the down range, test level 390. Never taken any steroids before. I take care of my sleep quality, supplementation d3 omega etc, i dont use any drugs, alcohol hardly ever, healthy build im not fat tub like others with low t. I dont know what is going on so i consider take this stuff in the near future..
My tinnitus started shortly after starting trt. Ear md said unrelated, but I'm not convinced. For me, the benefits of trt outweigh the negative of tinnitus.
Give it a try. Go off how you feel and see if it works out. I do a blast once a year and also play around with my normal trt dosage. When I take more test i can’t stop thinking about sex. It’s both fun and bad, distracting me nonstop. So for me, I found going down to a amount where I feel regularly horny and normal energy is great. To low and I don’t feel like myself, that’s when you’ll know it’s to low.
When people talk about how many mgs of test they're taking, I assume it's the concentrated amount. For ex. Taking .38cc 3x a week of test 350. Total volume is 1.14 g, but the amount of "pure test" would only be 399mg or .4g Is it safe to assume most people are talking about the volume of pure test?
My prescription says 100 mgs once per MONTH! Not sure if I’ll just be feeling horrible if I start this . I don’t want to sound like a gym freak when I go in to see doctor for first injection but this dose sounds so small
@@Richie_Alpha_Rabbit69 seems like one shot doesn’t address the lulls that happen in between. I take 100mg/wk. and some say that’s low. Body builders take 10x or more than that.
@@georgiafan6618 Yea I know the pamphlet inside the box the vial came in said take 200 mg every 2 weeks for the hypo gonadal male. So I found a source of testosterone cypionate that sells 250mg/ml vials for not a bad price. Be nice to be able to get it from my doctor though then my work insurance covers it
@@Jon12p I told my doctor I would like weekly shots so she bumped me to 150 a week for now. Blood tests soon to see if more is needed. I split it up to 3 times a week which works well it's been almost two months.

Went from 280 lbs 25 percent fat to 250 20 percent fat in a couple months.
I've.just in prescribed 40mg sachet testogel , I thought great as will help as I get older . I'm 51 and always worked out so thought this is perfect . As my test levels were low , but after listening to the Doc it doesn't sound so good and maybe should just stick to low test .
This is just brain storm info for me. I been on test therapy for a while and I was prescribed HCG & clomid. I take 25iu. And half tab of clomid twice a week. Arimidex once a week. What u think doc?
Hello Doctor, Would like to use your services. I am 69 yr old male. 6 ft 2. 275 pounds. I have all the classic signs of low T. My recent blood work showed low free testosterone and low sex binding hormone. The other 2 testosterone levels were normal but low range. My recent coronay calcium score was 900 and my cardiologist increased my creator from 5 mg a day to 10 mg a day and said continue taking my baby aspirin. That was all he said. I immediately changed my diet in an effort to hopefully reduce my calcium. I have been taking vitamin d3 and k2 for years. I also have sleep apnea and the a cpap machine every night. Where do I go from here sir? Thank you . Lenny Aguiar New Bedford, Massachusetts.
Doc, know of any expert gynocomastia surgeons in MN or immediate surrounding states? I have a repair to do on right side. When i flex, looks more like an indentation. Did a great job on left side, for some reason, right side did not turn out like left side.
@10:40 he is so right. Instead of going to Dr. Mordcai Blau in NY, I went to a general Dr. outside of Philly. I assumed getting the gland taken out and al little bit of lipo wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, he did great work on a female I know who had a mommy makeover. Well, that was dumb. After the first surgery, the glands were out and my chest wasn't too bad. However, we decided to go back at it again to do a little more lipo. There was too much tissue taken out the second time and 5 years later I am left with dents in my chest. I typically have to point this out to people, but to me, its very noticeable. Plus, IMO the overall appears of the chest is now worse than it was with gyno. Don't cheap out. Go to someone. like Dr. Blau in NY who specializes in these sort of things. I have since moved from PA to Florida and am hoping to someone day find somewhere down here who can help.
What sucks is health insurance doesn’t cover the cost of hCG! So freaking expensive!!! CVS doesn’t even cary it, the pharmacist at mine said he would have to order it and it would be hard to get.
Has anyone experimented with topical aromatase inhibiters for gyno? Curious to see if anyone has been able to reduce the size of the gyno while mitigating the unwanted side effects of low estrogen.
Using an AI just for gyno is silly. You're best to use nolva if you have e2 positive gyno. Depends if it is e2 causing the gyno or something like progestin
Doc , whats your opinion on DHEA if test isn't available? Surely that would keep the testies healthy and fertility high. I'm 49 and taken steroids in the past , not gone crazy but enough that my hormones need a boost now. I've been on 25mg 4 days a week for last few months and feel good.
Clomid can cause retinal disturbances even blindness. Use short term as a prolactin modulator ie during heavy nandrolone cycles.more frequent bloods. You have to be on point if your pushing these drugs
I've be on trt for 9 or so years now. Different clinics. My first couple years I never used HCG and didn't experience any testicle shrinkage, or pain. Shame now that the fda took away compounding pharmacies ability to offer it. I tried gonadorelin, did nothing. Best thing I ever did was include hcg. My current protocol is 1 ml of test twice a week plus NPP 150 mgs a week. Currently using 50 mgs of test twice a week, no npp, and 1666 ius of hcg 3 times a week in hopes of conceiving. Soon I'll be adding FSH after my next semen analysis. And before anyone says you must come off of testerone to have a child, plenty of research out there from great docs such as McClain, lipsulchtz
@@beasteast9421not every person has the same biology, hormones effects everyone different. I was on trt and semen came back at zero before I started HCG, HMG and clomid.
You can conceive on trt while on HCG but it just works better when you get off because you are not exactly sure what mg of testosterone will keep you shut down regardless of HCG usage. I got completely off and still feel amazing on HCG, HMG and clomid. I still look full and still making progress in the gym so just food for thought. I figured faster I get her pregnant the faster I can get back on trt with less stress.
On 200mg/wk, doc prescribed clomid to keep my own test from shutting completely down, not for atrophy. What do you think about deploying it in that aspect? He switched to enclomid and it was better for side effects but couldn’t get it anymore. So back on clomid, It makes me anxious and depressed.
@@RAPEDBYBLACKS I'm not asking for advice. It was in reference to his opinion of usage of clomid for testicular atrophy. It’s purely a scientific question? Using clomid for keeping the hpta axis active. You may want to brush up on your reading comprehension my friend. Note this question was directed towards the host of this RUclips channel. Unless you’re a doctor with equal knowledge as him, I’d have to respectfully ask you to F.O. Thank you.
@@itzdan0s477 My doc prescribed 200mg inj every other week (100/wk). Felt like I was too low. My HPTA is likely F’d up. Gave me sermorelin acetate and brought back my testes. I have to do something bc I don’t feel that great.
No, I would make some adjustments but I can't say as I don't know your age, diet and stress levels, I would do whatever possible to get your levels back up first naturally and after 3 months test again.
And if you don't feel comfortable asking something like that, that's definitely a you problem lmao totally normal question to ask an Endo/Urologist or whatever type of Doc oversees your care

If your not clinically low dont get on TRT, just put in the work (Diet and Exercise) this may go against DR advise but maybe a 3 month on 3 month off of moderate dosing for some Performance Enhancement. Other than this, if your not making money off your body or are in need clinically there is no real need for it. The "honeymoon TRT period" lasted for about 2.5 yrs after that you need to increase it to feel the benefits.

Wish I had seen this 6 years ago. I’m finally figuring it all out being on trt 6 years.
Hi Anthony, I was an athlete for 20yrs and now I just train I'm no longer in competition BUT I started TRT a year ago at 250mg per week and my body has changed aswell as general well being and energy etc. Lots of fake info getting about regarding doses as what works for one person won't be ideal for the next person. They've got to start tracking clearance times for ppl on trt etc.
Fantastic info Doc! What a dedication!
Please make another episode on testosterone therapy on women or female bodybuilder and it's long/short term effects.
Great info as always. I wish you'd script your videos as you have a tendency to ramble which makes it a little hard to follow at times. I love the subdued tone of this video! 👌
I've personally found 200mg of primo with only 75mg of test a week works better as a cruising stack or alternative hormone replacement than pure TRT at 150, 200 or even 250mg test.
I also really liked complimenting it with Hdrol when it existed at 50mg a day, which was the prohormone version of Tbol, it felt so complete and I had amazing blood markers with and with out hdrol, but the hdrol was the iceing on the cake.
I'm going to try that myself and see what happens.
@quantumfx2677 you'll love it, no oily skin, no thinning hair, equel recovery in the gym as 250mg of test but you'll have a little bit harder of a look, blood markers are equally as good as on TRT, sex drive is about the same a 200mg test but the Hdrol will put it right up there on what 250mg would give you and can provide a little better pump in the gym (keep in mind it has to be hdrol for the added libido boost and not to tbol, don't ask why tbol is not as good at that but it's not, maybe hdrol is a little more androgenic than tbol before conversion or maybe it's just more activating in the brain).
If you just want the same extra added little pump and recovery enhancement tbol at 10mg is the same as 50 hdrol.
It's hard to find real hdrol now though, it was stupidly banned in most countries despite being a very mild safe compound based on an already very mild safe compound.
Great info my Doc
Great video Doc. I think I am going to pass on this. At 73 I am trying to avoid any problems in my life. Thank you for great info.
I'm 42 and my test came back at 777. But I want to be optimum so I'm prescribed 200mg a week. Any thoughts on dosage concerns?
Dam it, I laughed harder than I should have when doc said "pooping men on testosterone "
Dude, id love to shake your hand and share a beer with you.
This videos on par. Very informative and nothing but raw passion. I both respect and trust you
Thanks for the insite Doc.
It be nice to have a doc like u in my area when I first started trt was great now not so much idk if increased dosage will help or not they always tell me for man my ager your level are just right
How is the standard treatment for middle age male, normal T but low free T, Estrogen at the higher end, not obese, good diet, low T symptoms?
How long is recovery of fertility with clomid after a cycle? Like 5-6 months
Incredible Content!!!!!!
Hey doc, nice video, i have a question... if i go on test for a year and i get some good gains, if i stop completly taking t, do i lose all the gains i got? I mean, i go back to my natty form?
thank you! very good information.
Doc I’ve heard you say you don’t agree with gonadorelin hcl why?,my TRT clinic used to give me HCG but not anymore,now it’s Test cyp with anastrozole and gonadorelin,I don’t know where I can get HCG,help.
It's pretty easy to monitor your heart rate and O2 level these days. Tons of little devices that do it. Get yourself a little "O2 Ring" that you can wear at night. Learn to see the trends. There are obvious differences between a good nights sleep and a bad one. I fought my way off CPAP by getting my nose and teeth fixed. A little TST ain't going to bother me! :)
this is another level doc... love it thanks
I’d love to know if anyone these days has tried Fadogia Agrestis to reduce testicular atrophy. Back in the bro forum days, some blokes used to swear by it. Fadogia is believed to have a direct impact on the testicals, like LH or HCG. If I ever hop back on testosterone, I’ll give it a spin
thanks Doc! Precious!
She's the pain with testicular atrophy go away after a while?
How common is gyno with a normal/low TRT dose?
I was only on trt for 3 weeks so i don't know the full story yet
I plan to try again when i can afford it
I just got my testosterone test back and it was just through a general practitioner. Total is 272 and free is 72.6. Im 5' 11", 175 pounds and around 18 percent body fat. Im new to this. That with me taking TongkatAli. Im pretty sure that is low. What are my options? What should i ask my doctor?
Top contend! Thanks
Think I’ll just improve my diet and exercise.
@3:41 I think your screen shot is wrong. HCG is commonly dosed as IUs, not micrograms. One milligram of HCG is estimated to be about 9.3 IUs per MG. Even when converted microgram dosing, it would be way too low.
Awesome content--thank you for doing this!
I have used Testosterone over the past 10 years. In the last 2 years I have not used any. Feeling flat and low did bloods and was diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism. The problem is when I started with test enanthate 250mg once a month I experienced severe bloating and a very uncomfortable gut. As soon as I'm done eating I would get very uncomfortable and need ed to use the loo. Moved over to test cypionate, 50mg once a week. Same result. It's almost as though I can't tolerate it internally. I have chatted to my endocrinologist and few other well versed people however nobody seems to understand why or how this happens. Any feedback would be highly appreciated.....🙏
Split the 25 mg twice a week. All of my friends micro dose rather than one large shot once a week.
I never had a good sex drive on test, but after adding hcg its been amazing
On trt or mono?
@IELTSWritingPrep trt or higher doses. At first it improved my sex drive but then it went down. I believe it was estrogen related, i could never get my estrogen at the right level, ais would instantly drop it to zero so i had to figure a dosing schedual but still had a lower sex drive, but at least i could get it up after not being able to. I then introduced hcg and have been able to go multiple times a day ever since with no ed issues and a very high sex drive.
@@spunkflunk Amazing! I do 5000 IUs HCG mono and my E2 reaches 60. I can't imagine what it'd be like with Test too. For whatever reason, I function best when my E2 is very low, around 11, which is considered bad for libido and psychological function. I think a lot of this differs from person to person.
What's your protocol?
Thoughts. My test was at 349 at 39 years old. Doctor me on 160mg a week. Good amount or would you recommend more. I lift weights 6 days a week and mma in afternoons. Thoughts or advice
Training too much will drop your test.
R there any dangers being on TRT age 60..I'm in good health..if my testicle shut down is there a danger of them never working again...what is a low level of testosterone..thanku sorry if I'm asking too much
I’ve been on testosterone since September can I just quite it? I’m not sure if I can take this the rest of my life. The doctor said I should take it cause my testosterone it is very low and I’m in risk of heart attack! I don’t know what’s your opinion?
Hi so I was on steroids for years now I not on testosterone no but now I was thinking about just doing MK-677 is that good
I wish i could afford to see you dr in some ways i cant afford not too. Always great content lets me know what im in for just started first cycle 200mg testosterone cypionate and 300mg Decca a week deca did wonders for my shoulder.
After a year on T and HCG the HCG might not be working anymore. Will it still prevent atrophy and is it only fertility or is atrophy a fact sooner or later?! 😢
I cycle on and off HCG. usually around 3 months on, 1 month off. I've been doing this for 3 years while on trt and it seems to still work well. By the end of the month off, there is noticeable shrinkage on my testies, but once I go back on they increase in size very quickly and there is a very noticeable increase in ejaculate volume again.
I have used 120mg test a week for trt and my levels have always been in the upper normal range. In January I decided to try a carnivor diet and after 30 days on this diet my estrogen was 2x higher and my test was 4x higher than usual.
Does anyone have a similar experience?
I'm trying to understand if it is possible that being in ketosis can make levels go up? Or maybe this bottle of test is massively overdosed.
They say Carnivore spikes test.
@@rockwell7043 I read about it too but can it go up 4x? Sounds unrealistic
It’s all the hormones in the meat
I'm on250 test once a week. I believe I have estradiol high. Thinking of micro dosage. How long do I need to wait for an effect ??
Change your weekly routine to administration on Monday morning and Thursday evening.
Don’t forget to take half of the normal amount on each day.
Hard to say if you will notice or what you will notice. I think the standard timeframe for your body to adapt and effectively maintain the steady stream is 4-5 weeks.
I changed my days form M, T to M,W,F
Each shot is less so I noticed the spikes have gone away. That’s the goal, nice and steady levels.
@@WardoUSA thank you
Thanks 🙏👍
Reall good video
General question. When your a teen and have high testosterone and it's natural why are there side effects if a 50 yr.old goes on TRT?
Thanks Doc 👍🏼
What about putting 20 years old man on trt? My natural lh and fsh levels are near the down range, test level 390. Never taken any steroids before. I take care of my sleep quality, supplementation d3 omega etc, i dont use any drugs, alcohol hardly ever, healthy build im not fat tub like others with low t. I dont know what is going on so i consider take this stuff in the near future..
I wouldn’t mess with it if you feel great.
Decide if you want kids first. I would try every natural supplement first.
Doc I’ve been on TRT 3 years and I recently got really bad tinnitus could it be connected ? Thanks
My tinnitus started shortly after starting trt. Ear md said unrelated, but I'm not convinced. For me, the benefits of trt outweigh the negative of tinnitus.
I'm 67 and I have bph, my dosage is 120 mg per week/40 mg per injection MWF. Do you think cutting it down to 100 mg might help. Thanks
Give it a try.
Go off how you feel and see if it works out.
I do a blast once a year and also play around with my normal trt dosage.
When I take more test i can’t stop thinking about sex. It’s both fun and bad, distracting me nonstop.
So for me, I found going down to a amount where I feel regularly horny and normal energy is great. To low and I don’t feel like myself, that’s when you’ll know it’s to low.
Good day doc, just a quick one, I'm 47 and a diabetic, can I inject .25-.50ml a week
When people talk about how many mgs of test they're taking, I assume it's the concentrated amount.
For ex. Taking .38cc 3x a week of test 350. Total volume is 1.14 g, but the amount of "pure test" would only be 399mg or .4g
Is it safe to assume most people are talking about the volume of pure test?
Ive been getting my testosterone from prestige pharma.. been on trt at 175mg. Feel awesome
My prescription says 100 mgs once per MONTH! Not sure if I’ll just be feeling horrible if I start this . I don’t want to sound like a gym freak when I go in to see doctor for first injection but this dose sounds so small
@@Richie_Alpha_Rabbit69 seems like one shot doesn’t address the lulls that happen in between. I take 100mg/wk. and some say that’s low. Body builders take 10x or more than that.
@@georgiafan6618 Yea I know the pamphlet inside the box the vial came in said take 200 mg every 2 weeks for the hypo gonadal male. So I found a source of testosterone cypionate that sells 250mg/ml vials for not a bad price. Be nice to be able to get it from my doctor though then my work insurance covers it
@@Jon12p I told my doctor I would like weekly shots so she bumped me to 150 a week for now. Blood tests soon to see if more is needed. I split it up to 3 times a week which works well it's been almost two months. I started getting morning wood and it was hard as a rock it was so glorious to see it was better than any Christmas morning as a kid! I spent the last 5years just accepted that at age 30 I am unable to desire sex or get hard because of my drug abuse of heroin meth etc for years. Thought I'd have to come off methadone to get my ability back so said I'll stay lonley.
Now I'm hitting on women and lost 30 pounds of fat while gaining more muscle. Went from 280 lbs 25 percent fat to 250 20 percent fat in a couple months.
can you recommend a top rated gyno surgeon?
Doctor please talk about epidrine please
I've.just in prescribed 40mg sachet testogel , I thought great as will help as I get older . I'm 51 and always worked out so thought this is perfect . As my test levels were low , but after listening to the Doc it doesn't sound so good and maybe should just stick to low test .
Fantastic information and I don't have to watch at 1.5x
This is just brain storm info for me. I been on test therapy for a while and I was prescribed HCG & clomid. I take 25iu. And half tab of clomid twice a week. Arimidex once a week. What u think doc?
If you get surgery for gyno will it come back ?
Hello Doctor, Would like to use your services. I am 69 yr old male. 6 ft 2. 275 pounds. I have all the classic signs of low T. My recent blood work showed low free testosterone and low sex binding hormone. The other 2 testosterone levels were normal but low range. My recent coronay calcium score was 900 and my cardiologist increased my creator from 5 mg a day to 10 mg a day and said continue taking my baby aspirin. That was all he said. I immediately changed my diet in an effort to hopefully reduce my calcium. I have been taking vitamin d3 and k2 for years. I also have sleep apnea and the a cpap machine every night. Where do I go from here sir? Thank you . Lenny Aguiar New Bedford, Massachusetts.
Doc, know of any expert gynocomastia surgeons in MN or immediate surrounding states?
I have a repair to do on right side. When i flex, looks more like an indentation.
Did a great job on left side, for some reason, right side did not turn out like left side.
@10:40 he is so right. Instead of going to Dr. Mordcai Blau in NY, I went to a general Dr. outside of Philly. I assumed getting the gland taken out and al little bit of lipo wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, he did great work on a female I know who had a mommy makeover. Well, that was dumb. After the first surgery, the glands were out and my chest wasn't too bad. However, we decided to go back at it again to do a little more lipo. There was too much tissue taken out the second time and 5 years later I am left with dents in my chest. I typically have to point this out to people, but to me, its very noticeable. Plus, IMO the overall appears of the chest is now worse than it was with gyno. Don't cheap out. Go to someone. like Dr. Blau in NY who specializes in these sort of things. I have since moved from PA to Florida and am hoping to someone day find somewhere down here who can help.
Would my trough be the same if I took 100 mg 7 days ago versus splitting it up 50mg twice a week?
What sucks is health insurance doesn’t cover the cost of hCG! So freaking expensive!!! CVS doesn’t even cary it, the pharmacist at mine said he would have to order it and it would be hard to get.
amino asylum
If T levels are great built still not feeling great would you recommend HCG as mono therapy or maybe peptides like Tesamorelin
Has anyone experimented with topical aromatase inhibiters for gyno? Curious to see if anyone has been able to reduce the size of the gyno while mitigating the unwanted side effects of low estrogen.
Think you need to check out more plate more dates. The group is alot more chatty with these sorts of advice.
Using an AI just for gyno is silly. You're best to use nolva if you have e2 positive gyno. Depends if it is e2 causing the gyno or something like progestin
Is your dose too high?
Dr Lipschultz is the go to guy. ❤God Bless him.
What's name of app
Doc , whats your opinion on DHEA if test isn't available? Surely that would keep the testies healthy and fertility high. I'm 49 and taken steroids in the past , not gone crazy but enough that my hormones need a boost now. I've been on 25mg 4 days a week for last few months and feel good.
25mg seems low but if you are feeling good thats what is important.
Dhea made me cranky n mean
Doc what $99 test are you referring to for calcium score for plaque in the arteries?
Google CAC.. its a CT scan of the heart.. they are cheap now.
I've been on 250 test e for over a year. I do 2iu a week of hcg and clomid twice a week. Is the clomd not necessary?
Hcg comes in 5000iu vials. Just stick with test. And lower dose unless your happy outside reference ranges.
As long as your E2 blood work doesn’t come back all over the place and your mental health is still at a good point then let it ride
Clomid can cause retinal disturbances even blindness. Use short term as a prolactin modulator ie during heavy nandrolone cycles.more frequent bloods.
You have to be on point if your pushing these drugs
I've be on trt for 9 or so years now. Different clinics. My first couple years I never used HCG and didn't experience any testicle shrinkage, or pain. Shame now that the fda took away compounding pharmacies ability to offer it. I tried gonadorelin, did nothing. Best thing I ever did was include hcg.
My current protocol is 1 ml of test twice a week plus NPP 150 mgs a week.
Currently using 50 mgs of test twice a week, no npp, and 1666 ius of hcg 3 times a week in hopes of conceiving. Soon I'll be adding FSH after my next semen analysis. And before anyone says you must come off of testerone to have a child, plenty of research out there from great docs such as McClain, lipsulchtz
I have a buddy who had 2 kids while on trt. Didn't even have HCG either. I'm wondering where it came from that you have to get off trt to have kids
@@beasteast9421not every person has the same biology, hormones effects everyone different. I was on trt and semen came back at zero before I started HCG, HMG and clomid.
You can conceive on trt while on HCG but it just works better when you get off because you are not exactly sure what mg of testosterone will keep you shut down regardless of HCG usage. I got completely off and still feel amazing on HCG, HMG and clomid. I still look full and still making progress in the gym so just food for thought. I figured faster I get her pregnant the faster I can get back on trt with less stress.
On 200mg/wk, doc prescribed clomid to keep my own test from shutting completely down, not for atrophy. What do you think about deploying it in that aspect? He switched to enclomid and it was better for side effects but couldn’t get it anymore. So back on clomid, It makes me anxious and depressed.
He can’t give you drug advice in a RUclips comment lol
@@RAPEDBYBLACKS I'm not asking for advice. It was in reference to his opinion of usage of clomid for testicular atrophy. It’s purely a scientific question? Using clomid for keeping the hpta axis active. You may want to brush up on your reading comprehension my friend. Note this question was directed towards the host of this RUclips channel. Unless you’re a doctor with equal knowledge as him, I’d have to respectfully ask you to F.O.
Thank you.
@@itzdan0s477 he never answers in the comments and he has enough videos on clomid during and after cycle. good luck messing up your body.
200mg that's a cycle
@@itzdan0s477 My doc prescribed 200mg inj every other week (100/wk). Felt like I was too low. My HPTA is likely F’d up. Gave me sermorelin acetate and brought back my testes. I have to do something bc I don’t feel that great.
Question for anyone who can answer my test levels dropped from 600 to 400 less than 2 years should I consider trt?
No, I would make some adjustments but I can't say as I don't know your age, diet and stress levels, I would do whatever possible to get your levels back up first naturally and after 3 months test again.
Prob because your diet sleep stress level etc
I feel great at 400. Don't go off numbers, go on how you feel.
Do you have an online sight that u trust to get trt , like prime body that Kenny is promoting , love to hear the sight u trust
Do DHT derivatives like Primo shut down your testicles?
I'm new to TRT and I take Kisspeptin10 along with my test. If you're on TRT long enough will you eventually shoot blanks when you atrophy?
And if you don't feel comfortable asking something like that, that's definitely a you problem lmao totally normal question to ask an Endo/Urologist or whatever type of Doc oversees your care
I’m in Mexico and can get Sustenon 250 over the counter.
Was thinking of trying it.
Work's great
Do it!
@gussstavoyou are allergic to MCT more then likely that or the prop bit ya lol I found sustanon back in the early 2000s and haven’t touched a single ester since I’m on 250mg/wk pin Mon wed Friday no Ai Bloods are perfect I stay around 1400 on my through bloods I bump it to 500when cycling and I gotta tell ya you better have a nympho at home Cause the boners are INSANE can’t even ride in the car without a chubby
@Gus enanthate won't get you big and strong like sustanon 250?
@Gus Ty Brother....Whatcha gonna do, when Hulkamania runs wild on you!
If your not clinically low dont get on TRT, just put in the work (Diet and Exercise) this may go against DR advise but maybe a 3 month on 3 month off of moderate dosing for some Performance Enhancement. Other than this, if your not making money off your body or are in need clinically there is no real need for it. The "honeymoon TRT period" lasted for about 2.5 yrs after that you need to increase it to feel the benefits.
What do you think about people being prescribed anavar and trt?
What cycle do you use Doc ?
He's said in the past he's on 100mg every 5days of testosterone cypionate
@luckyg8971 that's not much is it ? Not sure I believe that tbh..
@@baldersn4474 it's a standard TRT dose. My doctor me on the same protocol exactly
ive been on suboxin for years now and it lowered my test,few years ago i tried the patches for about 4 months,it didnt do anything to my levels and i kept getting headaches,at the time i was thinking the subs was blocking it but not sure,anyone have knowledge with this?
Suboxone shut me down as well. 120mg a week test IM has me normal again.
@@PlantsforaPurpose subs for years but had to switch to done. I noticed weight gain (extremely hard to loose even no carbs, cardio & weights 4-5 days) plus muscle gains very limited.
Hi you doing Doc, hope everything is well. Question, is xyosted enanthate 100mg/0.5 ml better them testosterone cypionate ?
My Dr prescribed me gonadoralin. Now I'm wondering if its necessary
Me too I take only a bit every week so far so good. There's positives to it as well if you are open to searching and hearing/reading others .To each his own, trial and error. Best wishes.
If I start TRT will it shut down my own testosterone production and will this reduce my sperms production and cause me to be on TRT FOR LIFE...THANKU
